Back in the 70s one of my friends had a early 60s CJ5 with a 325hp 396 Chevy in it, it had an overdrive also. It had 2 short shifters and 2 tall shifters. He was so fast he could split shifts while going sideways. Scary doesn't even come close to what it was like to be a passenger in it. All Jeeps are fun as long as they run

Farmboy needed some ski rigging parts so I headed out to meet him at the County airport halfway.

Original plan was for me to land between in the grass but the big airport had a couple inches of packed snow so decided to land on the runway, did a couple touches to make sure I wouldn't grind to a stop and landed and taxied to the fuel farm parking.

I talked to Don Simmons today and as soon as I am signed off by my doctor come May 1st, I will be partnered with him in the Sedan. I did not know it is now at Island Bob's in the hanger. We will be looking for a set of skis for it for the 2017/18 winter season.

Maybe next winter I can get some ski instruction from you. For 6 weeks this summer I will have the sedan all to myself as Don will be going away.

Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire has a FAA certified ice runway for a few weeks each winter. Only one in the country. Almost 200 miles each way for me on skis. Great day even though I was only going 43 mph for awhile heading home.Stopped at Grass Patch Aviation at NH07 first
